I have a project that I would like to do using infrared, black and white film wh ich I would shoot, mostly outdoors, through a dark red filter (Tiffen # 29 I bel ieve). I started working on the project using 35mm but was very disappointed wi th the quality of an 11x14 enlargement - much too grainy! I would like to do th e project using my 4x5. However, based on my past, limited experience with infr ared, I realize I could go through a lot of film before I finally get things rig ht. I would appreciate any advice or insights from those who have used infrared film with a large format camera. I am especially concerned with film handling. Is it true, as I have read, that touching the film when loading the holder can fog the film? Also, how much heat can the film tolerate (I live in Arizona wher e it can get rather hot). Finally any hints on making accurate exposures using infrared film would be very welcome.
